[Verse:]Hey, once upon a younger yearWhen all our shadows disappearedThe animals inside came out to playHey, When face to face with all our fearsLearned our lessons through the tearsMake memories we knew would never fade

One day my father he told meSon, don't let this slip awayHe took me in his arms, I heard him say

When you'll get olderYour wild life would live for younger daysThink of me as forever your faith

[Chorus:]He said, one day you'll leave this world behindSo live a life you will rememberMy father told me when I was just a childThese are the night that never dieMy father told me

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2:][?]Light a fire they can't put outCarve their name into those shinning starsHe said go adventure far beyond these shoresDon't forsake this life of yoursI'll guide you home no matter where you are

One day my father he told meSon, don't let this slip awayHe took me in his arms, I heard him say

When you'll get olderYour wild life would live for younger daysThink of me as forever your faith

[Chorus:]He said, one day you'll leave this world behindSo live a life you will rememberMy father told me when I was just a childThese are the night that never dieMy father told me
